Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, it appears, has in- formed his frends in Washington of his inten- ion to 1pon Congress, as soon as It reas- semble» (the 21st of November), two important measures, which he deems essential to the ecountry. The first is a general impeachment law,/ defining offences upon which aay civ! er of the United States may be impeached, and expressly providing that no officer arraigned shail continue to exer- safety of ne the fynctions of his office during bis trial. Second ir. Stevens will introduce a bill pro- viding, ander the authority of the consticution and the Declaration of Independence, That no State shall have power to prohibit citizens of the United States, whatever their race, color or religion, from voting for President or Con- gressmen.| Upon these measures leading repub- licang affirm that Mr. Stevens will be sustained by Congress. This impeachment bill is aimed at President Johnson. The constitution provides that “ the House of Representatives shall have. the sole power of impeachment ;” that “the Senate sball have the sole power to try al! impexci- nents; that “when the President of the United States is on trial the Chicf Justice shall preside ;” that “no person shall be convicted without the coneurrence of two-thirds of the members present,” and that “judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States;” but that “the to indictment, trial and punishment according to law.” We find nothing in the constitution, however, directly in reference to the supension of an impeached officer during his trial, unless this may be so construed (article two, section one): “and the Congress may, by law, pro- vide for the case of removal, death, resignas tion or inability both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then actas President, and such officer sball act accordipgly, until the disability be removed or 8 President shall be elocted.” Under the plea of “disability,” while on trial, to discharge the duties of his office, this party convicted shall, nevertheless, be subject | provision mav. perhaps, be applied to the sus- pension of President Jobnsoa. But, finally, after specifying the exclusive powers of Con- gress, the con-titution further says that Coa- greea shill have power “to make all laws which shall be necessary'and proper for car- rying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.” Under this claus» Congress may as‘ume the power to suspend the President while on trial, as necessary to carry into effect certain other powers with which the two houses aré invested and the powers of the Executive Department. Under astrained construction of the constitution a two- third majority in each house of Congress may do anything avainst the Executive ; but irom the very silence of the supreme law on this question of suspension from office of a par'y impeached while on trial for high crimes and misdemeanors, we may safely assume that no such thing was ever contemplated, and espe- cially in the case of a President on trial. If the President, on impeachment, may be sus- pended, he way be virtually removed from office by a bare majority of the House in bring- ing him to trial before the Senate; for once there, a8 before a court, the trial, by a bare mijority of that body, may be indefinively protonged. Mr. Sevens, at any rato, in this proposed bill on impeachment is only aiming to reach the actual removal of Presideat Johnson by less than the required two-tuird vote of the Senate. Ho has probably mad» tho discovery that a two- third vote in the Senate for this removal by impeachment does not exist, and, it s0, he would do weil to abandon this half-way measure of suspension; for if this law te passed the President, in contesting its constitu- tionality, may make a case for the Supreme Court which will hold bim in office to the end of his term. The proposed impeachment, to emount to anytuing, mus be conducted accord- ing to the explicit terms of the constitution. Tie President must first be tried on charges from te House, and tien, if declared guiity by a vote of two-tuirds of the Senators present, he is removed, and will have to go. If this cannot be done, the prosecu'ion ought to be dropped, for no halt-way trick of suspension will reach the case as contemplated by Mr. Slevens. His second bill, deemed necessary for the safety o/ the country, is simp!y the scheme of Mr. Senator Sumner, of establishing universal negro suffrage by act of Congress—ihe experi- ments made in this direc‘ion in the Northern States, in Ohio most emphatically, having failed. Mr. Stevens will hardly mend the mat- ter by this bill. The republican party in Con- gress have been admonished that they have followed bima litile too far already. Their true course is to fall back upon the pending constitutional amendment, which, if we are not mistaken, has been ratified by a sufficient num- ber of the States to make it part of the supreme law, and which, in leaving representation and suffrage to balance each other as each State may choose in regard to the blacks,and in binding the government, the States and the people to redeem the national debt, settles the two most important questions of the day. Victor Emanael, Garibaldi and the Pope. _In to-day’s Hurarp we give two letters from our special correspondent at Rome, and certain mail reprinis, ali of which will be found helpful in enabling the reader to arrive at an accurate knowledge of the situation in Italy and at Rome. Although many of the facts have already appeared in our telegraphic column, the letters will be found to have a certain value from their being written within the city which at the present moment is so much an object ot interest to the entire Christian world. The speech of Garibaldi, which we reproduce in our mail news, and which was delivered while on his way to Caprera, shows no abatement of hope on the part of the prisoner. In “thoughts that breathe and words that burn” he recalls Italy’s glorique past and predicts her glorious future. Some will consider them—and not without reason—the thoughts and words of an enthusiast; but no one can refuse to admit that they will wake responsive echoes in the breasts of hundreds of thousands of the Italian people. Gnaribaldi is an enthusiast—some think him a god.; but he is just such a man as is to be courted or feared in the circumstances in whieh Italy is now placed. It is now clear that the Italian troops have not crossed the Roman frontier, and that whatever struggle there las been has been wiih the insurgents and thePapal troops, It is an opinion now pretty zenerally entertained that the move- ment Ins been badly managed; for if the Romansintend to rise, they are unconscionably jong in tloing so, and if the party of action mean toencompass Rome it oughi ere this to have beea accomplished. The Theatres. The prestat fall season among the theatres has so far een highly successful with those managers wh identified themselves with the progressive iwas of their patrons on music and the dram. The time is past whena metropolitan adience would patronize and submit to stale, ackneyed pieces, which have grown rusty fronlong use, and to incomplete- ness in any fota, either as regards cast of characters, costuma, scenery or appointments. The means of comyunication with Europe are now 80 expedition that the majority of the theatregoors fod thenselves sometimes during the year ng to he opera at Los Italiens, Covent Garded Le Scala, or the drama at some of the le Wi ‘Sablishments in London, Paris or Berlin. \They tome back imbued with the impressions pf hoaring and seeing every- thing on the stap in faultless style, and they absolutely refuse\to submit to any humbug that the pitiful epnomy of managers may choose to set befye them. The example of two or three met managers in this city bas stirred up theilRip Van Winkle contem- poraries t ® just Spreciation of what is due to the public. Iter), the present season is remarkable for novties and thoroughness at some of the leading dablishments. The few houses that refused rand beginning to enbmit to the just demands}od elevated tastes of their patrons have be\ almost deserted, and the managers are now jangurating « complete reformation, When ea) establishment selects some specialty and cdcentrates all its atten- tion and resources q that one point, the revolution in music the drama will be successfully and sate\ctorily carried ont. Imitators are especialy obnoxious on the stage, and each hot| ought to adopt a distinct course for il With such lberal, \ Vette broad viows of their business, there is no doubt that the mangers will find the present s-ason a golden one, aad will win the support and respect of the amusement public of tuis great city. ‘ Unemployed Capital and Stagnation ef Business tin Europe. Many parts of Europe have reached or nearly reached the limit of profitable produc- tion, It is particularly so with England. There we find superabundance of capital with no opportunity for investment. We have quoted lately several articles from the London Times ond published one yesterday on this anomalous state of things. Tue Times, how- ever, does not seem willing to admit that En7- land has reached the limit of profitable pro- duction, while it speaks rreely of “ an accumu- lation of unemployed capital beyond all example or belie!” It attempts to explain this state of things as simply a reaction from over-speculation, It argues that people were 80 badly burt lately by the apeculating mania that raged in England for some years that they are afraid to trust their capital out of their hands, but it looks forward to the time when en‘erprise will revive. It speaks of other causes, a8 that o. the limited lability law ; but tue ch ef cause of this piethova of money and stagnition of business, it acknowledges, is found in the distrust arising from over-specu- lation. Now, this excessive speculation, or kiteflying, which is constantly recurring in England, not- withstanding it is thought everything is so solil there, and which the Times says will recur again after the present panic is over, shows that there are no longer lesitimate en- teyprises enough to absorb the accumulated capital of that country. This would have been tae condition of England some tim: ago had it not been for the railroads which in their construction called for a vast amount of float- ing capital. But that country is covered now with a network of railroads. There is littie more to be done in that sort of enterprise, while the income arising from these railroads adds to the heaps of money seeking new in- vestments, Manufactures have attained the limit of demand for them, and no new capital isneeded there. In fact, oter countries, par- ticularly France and Belgium, are supplying the murkets of the world with better and cheaper goods. The mines, which have been exceedingly valuable, and which were the foundation of British manufactures, have reached their highest production. British statesmen are looking forward even to the time when they will give out. As to agriculiure, that can be carried little farther. England is highly cultivated—a garden, in fact, as it has been called—and there is little room for the employment of more capital upon it, The colonies and Intia still afford opportunities for investment; but they advance slowly in material progress, and on account of their dis- tance and other causes are notregarded favor- ably by capitalists at home, What, then, is to become of the enormous accumulated capital of England? How and where can it find employment? People there will not be satisfied with two or three per cent, which is all they can get now. Nor will they submit always to the ever-recurring periods of speculative fever and panic which the Times regards as inevitable. They will want safe and profitable means of investment, where, under any panics or revulsions, their property will be good. Where can they thus use their capital? In the United States. They need not invest in government stocks or State stocks, if they fear repudiation or do not like the look of our political condition, though these stocks are as safe and good as any in the world, and pay a high rate of interest. Outside of these, in our cheap and rich lands, in our inexhausti- ble and. highly productive mines, in the grow- ing towns and villages, in the magn‘ficent sites for water power, machinery and manu‘actures; in our railroads and canals, and in a hundrod things throughout this virgin country, there isa field for all the spare capital of England, or, indeed, of Europe. Whatever phaseswe may pass through in our political life, the country will remain and will continue to grow rapidly in wealth and power. Nowhere are invest ments safer, or as sate, and nowhere do they return such a large income. Those British capitalists and statesmen who have visited the United States are aware of these facts. If others would come, they, too, would be satis- fied. While the countries of the Old World are finished or on the decline, this country has just commenced to develop its boundless stores of wea'th. The People for Grant. At a large meeting of the republicans in Philadelphia last night, it was resolved that “having entire confidence in the wisdom, sound judgment, decision and patriotism of the greatest soldier of the age, we do nominate Ulysses 8 Grant our candidate for President.” So the people go in Pennsylvania. Only the other day at a meeting of a republi- can club in Columbus, Ohio, a resolution was introduced expressing hearty concurrence in the nomination of Grant by the Maryland Republican Convention, and the resolution was “adopted amid great enthusiasm.” This is a significant popular expression to come from the capital of Ohio, and indicates how little the Chase ticket will take in that quarter. On the nomination of the candidate for Governor just chosen the Chase men were beaten by the Grant men, and it was undoubtedly because their candidate was a Grant man and nota Chase man that the Ohio republicans saved him. As the regular convention went, so now the popular clubs and gatherings go, and not in Negligence of Apothecarics, Every now and then we hear of calamities arising from carelessness which prevails in apothecaries’ siores. The latest one in Brook- lyn, which we had to notice yesterday, involy- ing the death of a woman, is only ao single chapter in the history of ignorance and incom- petency which is unfortunately replete with like incidents. These facts teach us that we should require every assistant in a druggist’s store to be thoroughly examined in all that pertains to tho business he professes to under- stand, There should be a severe test applied to every applicant for a position as a com- pounder or dispenser of medicines in the drug- gists’ stores, whether young or old, and upon the resuit of his examination should depend his right to obtain o ite, without which he should not be pe «i to Make wp prescrip: tions or sell me ticings, The apothecary’s | assistant should at least know the effects of the various kinds of poisons, and should be ablo to comprehend the differeace between dangerous and comparatively harmless drugs. Of these things, unhappily, a large portion of the druggists’ clerks are wholly ignorant. But we are admonished day after day that some siringent legislation in this matter is absolutely necessary, Fraace-Mexican Fiuances. Though the Emperor Napoleon has disposed of the Mexican war, it is evident from our French news that he bas not disposed of the financial question to which the war gave birth. This now threatens very serious trouble. The Crédit Mobilicr and Immobilicr find them- selves very much cramped, and, notwithstand- ing the aid which the Bunk of France appears wil.ing to extend to them, serious financial troubles are appreheaded. It could mot well be otherwise when the French government causel by misrepresenta- tions the large investment in imperial Mexican securitica, This, however, is nos the worst fea- ture, for tho loaas absorbed a vast amount of money, the accumulations of poor people whose fortunes, gained after long years of trugalivy, rarely exveeded five hundred do lars. Thise litde amounts were considevel secure, and these poor peovle felt that France virtually endorsed the Mexican emp.re. They not only felt sure of tuis, but were st ll more envourased by the freedom with waich the Frenea trea- sary itself poured oat its fan's in support of the Maxim lian adventure. The Semaine Fi- ngnciere of S-piember 30 says:— Its thought likely that the shareholders of the Mo- Ditier and Immobiiier will shorty be convoked at @xiraordiaary meetugs, Ministerial auiioriiy as yet gives no sicn of life to the unuappy noldera of Mexican bonds, there are, however, to tuings wach tue gov- ernment cannot deny:—oe first, that if there are holders of (ois serip in France th it 18 absviutely with the government; aad cay sccoad, that it absoroed iseifaiarge part of the produce of the loans of that empire, The loass cmoun'ed to neariy turce hunded mitions, Tuat isan enormous capiial, at pre- seut apnibliated for those woo furuisued it—s capiial superior to the funds of tue: redit Sobilier and Immo- bilier; it is distributed amoag the class least at ease— that of =mall savings Is {: not to continue a painful Crisis 0 leave w.tho.t perspective of equ.tavie reparation these small capitalists, wuose timid wailings aro really beartrending? Ths governm»mt must come to the rescue of these small capitalis's who have suffered so much on account of the folly of the Emperor. Th» statement, however, that the imperial Mexican loans effectei in France were in amount only 300,000,000 francs, is a mistake. The true cost of the French intervention in Mexico may be approximately estimated as follows:— Indebtedness acknowledged to France by Maximilian, as par, of the expenses of the intervention w July 1, 1864, 270,000,000 of francs, or $50,000,000 gold, of which $10,000,000 were paid out of tho + loan and the baiance tunded at three per cent, viz:...... $40,000, i Joan put out tor account of Maximilian le py 0, ud 000,000 of francs more ou oe Teciuimauons to French subjects, ‘Donds, as an additiveal loan, were put ia circulation to the amouat of 110,000,000 of francs at Six per Cont........6s..eeees+++ 20,870,370 Second toan put out for account of vaximi- lian in Paris, being the iotiery loan oi two series of bonds at six per cent interest, mounting to 600,000,000 of fran go tiated at sees 92,502,502 Total debt recogaized by Maximilian in favor of France......++ te cesee sess cesesccees -$192,062,062 Deducting from this the debt ized the constitutional government of Mexico., 2,850,917 We have a cost to this point of ...........$190,103,045 Add to this tue amount acknowledged to have been expended directly from the amount was ot fravce—eq to, say ap ses 62,860,000 Making. + $252, 263,065 to be the total cost of the French tilt against ropublicanism as it appears on the surface. There are, probably, other and enormous ex- penditures behind the scenes, for the French Emperor hides from tho public knowledge, as much as possible, the results of his folly. Of the chances of the Freach people to be reimbursed from this side of the water there are none. @Mexico has, through all her leaders, many times sworn never to pay one cent of the cost of the French expedition. As President Juarez stated at a public dinner given at Darango last January, “We will never acknowledge one cent of this French war debt; we will fight for a hundred years in preference ;” and the whole of Mexico echoes the sentiment. The French people must look to their own govern- ment for restitution ; and we see no method for the French government to avoid paying from their own treasury the imperial Mexican bonds. For the future it will be a constant and valuable lesson to them not to meddle too actively in the affairs of the Now World. A State jonstabulary—Hew the Works in Massachusetts. The State Constabulary law does not seem to work well in Massachusetts, The latest case of opposition to its officers occurred at West- field on last Saturday évening, and resulted in the death of one of the citiz:ns of that place. Four Springfield constables, it appears, made a descent upon a Westfield faro bank, and captured eight gamblers and all theg imple- ments ot trade, including cards, dealing cases, tally boxes, the board of green cloth and several stacks of tempting red and white chips, The residents of the usually quiet town took this unwarrantable interference with their righis with very bad grace, and, after drawing together @ large concourse of people by the ringing of the fire bells, they besieged the offi- cers in their turn in the building they had pre- viously captured, drove them out of possession by means of brickbats and boulders, yelled at them like tigers, rescued their prisoners and stole their horses, compelling them to beat a hasty retreat on foot. The assailed constables fired into the crowd, killing one man, after which they were pursued, arrested on a charge of mufder and lodged in jail. These acis of violence and bloodshed are not the result of @ disposition on the part of the Massachusetts people to shield malefactors from the penalties of the law. They spring out of the popular opposition to a class of legis!a- tion, arbitrary aud oppressive in its character, that has prevailed wherever the radical Puritan- ical element has held sway. In this State and in the West it has manifested itself in acts to suppress the sale of liquors and beer, and to prevent the artisan and the laborer from enjoy- ing any recreation on their one day of rest out of the seven days of the week. In Massa- chusetia it takes the shape of a State con- stabulary, in addition, to enforce these sumptuary laws through officors strange to the community. If the Wesifleld police had made « descent upon a Westfield gambling den the pious people of that usually virtuous town would no doubt have submitted with becoming patience and resignation. It was the officious intorference of constables from Springfield that excited their ire, drew forth their yells, and caused the death of one of their number. $ The New York State Constitutional Oonven- Law tion, before its temporary adjournment, pro- posed a constabulary law tor our own State similar to that in force in Massachusetts ; but if the long-suffering people of New England make such violent opposition to its enforce meat, it would be likely to meet with » yet harder fate in NewYork. The truth is, “the people are tired of such legislation, and will no longer submit to it. Laws of this descrip- tion are either dead letters on the statute book or increase and intensify the very evils they seek to suppress, No respectable liquor dealer objects to a stringent license law; but it must not be of a character to brand every man in the business as a felon, and to grind the trade down under the heel» of arbitrary officers. Every decent person ia willing to see public sobriety enforced on the Sabbath; but the man who labors for six days is not willing to be deprived of the privilege of drinking hia glass of beer and smoking his pipe on the seventh. Reputable citizens are well pleased to see the laws properly enforced, but they prefer that the duty shall be performed by their own officers, and not by those imported from otuer cities, The republicans bave wrecked their party on just such arbitrary and offensive enactmenis, an! it is time they should learn, wisdom from exporience and sweep them all from the sta ute books. The Government Property at MUarper’s Ferry. George Washington, acting on behalf of the United States government, executed the decd which conveyed to it the proper'y at Harper’s Ferry, 80 long the seat of a Uniled Siates arsoval, and so picturesque in its surrounding seonery, particularly at the point where the Potomse and the Sheaandoah force their pas- sige throug tbe Biue Ridge, ani present, as Tuomas Jefferson said, “one of the most stu- penous scenes in nature, well worth a voyage across the Atlantic to witness.” It will also be memorable as the initial scene of our bloody and terrible civil war; for it was hers that John Brown, of Ossawattomie, risked and lost his life in attempting to translate into action the thoughts that breathed and words that burned in the hearangues of Wendell Phillips, Garrison and other Northern abolitionists. Here was kindled the conflagration that has left waste and desolate so large an extent of our fairest territory. Nothing but ruins remain on the government property at Harper’s Ferry, and Congress having authorized the Secretary of War to sell it, arrangements had been made to bring it into market, But a stay of the proceedings has been occasioned by the claim of the heirs of those who originally sold the property that the sale was made expressly on condition that the grounds should be used by the United S'ates government, and by no other paries. It is not likely that an arsenal will be re- erect:d at Harper’s Ferry; and as the water privileges of this site are far too valuable to be neglected and lost, it is probable that the United States government will either override the objection offered to the sale of the property or that an appval will be made to the Supreme Court, which will have to decide the case. AMUSEMENTS. Theatre Francais. Marie Antoinotte was again played here last night toe very full house. Now that this piece has been judict- Ous'y cut, that the actors have warmed into their parte and that the.whols machinery operates nicely, this is one of the most effective dramas ever put upon eur stage, and it is to be regretted that engacements made _ Clsewbere for this compauy will necessarily cut short the run the play—so grandly acted—would evidently have. There is but little to add to what we have hitherto said of Ristori’s personation of the unhappy Queen. Itts tull of the mspiration and impulse of a sympathy that throws the very soul of the actress into the fictitious scene; while at every step it exhibits the nice attention to de- tail, the carecul labor for ths right effect, (hat stamps the true spirit of art, Too little has been said of the eom- pany by which the great actress is supported. It ts of the bigbest order of merit throughous, Signor Bozzo particularly, in the spirit aud success with which he enacts the part of the King, has takeu a posi- tion in general appreciation that leaves him hardly sec- ond to Ristori. Our stage has seen but few such actors, very few ceriainiy who could have given such an air of maul) juity to the tame resiguation of Louis’ nature and saved the part wituout spoiliag the historical in tne picture, Luigia Giech also, and Graziosa Gicon, Who perform respectively tbe parts of Madame.

Miss Julia Dean commenced an engagement at this theatre last night, appearing in the dual characters of Laura Fairlie and Ano Catherick, in a dramatization of Wilkie Coiling’ Woman in White. Miss Dean's imporso- ation of there characters has been spoken of before at Jongih ia the Hera. and requires no special comment here. She was received with applause and fuily sus- the reputation she won during her last engage- it inthe same play. She was ably supported by Messrs Drummond and Stoddart and Mra Gilbert, the rest of the casi being weak The Count Fosco of Mr. Evans was the most of the entire distri. epced managoineat of Messrs.

Mile. Marie Zoe, who bas made pantomime and aword combats a specialty, played the French Spy at this the aire last aight before a slim audience. Tho pantomimie and posturing drama demands novelties as well as the legitimate, and the venerable French Spy bas done duy \oo lop; on the stage to possess any atiractions, Mile, Zoe's pantomime and acting of the title réle is exceiions and will probably compare favorably with any in that Nine.
